Grocery list planning: shop once, cook all week

A good grocery list is just your meal plan, reorganised. Group ingredients by section and you'll move through the shop in one pass.

Aggregate before you shop

Add up the same ingredient across every meal so you buy the right amount once, not three times.

Sort by section

Produce, protein, dairy, pantry, frozen, grains, condiments and other. Sorting by section is what turns a list into a fast shop.

Check what you already have

Scan cupboards for staples before you leave. Most wasted spend is on things already at home.
